Explore the concepts and beliefs of the afterlife with us!

This week, we are extremely blessed to have Sister Marilyn @ Nur Sara 'Adawiyah with us sharing her story. Initially planning to proceed with marriage as a non-muslim, Sister 'Adawiyah only intended to seek Islamic knowledge to further her understanding.

We reflect on how her journey is an example of the Decree of Allah SWT, the best of Planners. In the verse in Surat Al ‘Anfal, “They plan, and Allah plans, surely, Allah is the best of Planners.”
